[ action | open | mingle style ] Cooking Class
[Piper had the cooking lab set up and ready to go. She was nervous as all heck, but she was as ready to do this as she was ever going to be. She found herself questioning why she was doing this, but no point in running that through her head now.]

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Cooking Class.

[She gave them all a somewhat nervous smile.]

This is a first for me, so I'm looking for a lot of feedback on this one. What are you interested in learning? What are you current skills? Stuff like that. We can do recipe courses, like what you see on a cooking show, or we can teach specific techniques for people who are looking for something more rudimentary.

[She picked up her apron.]

I have some extra aprons in the back, so grab one if you didn't bring your own. Cooking can get pretty messy, even when you know what you're doing.

[She put the apron on, and, while everyone was getting theirs, handed out a sheet of paper with a recipe on it.]

We're going to start with a simple recipe today so I can figure out where everyone is in their skill level.

{OOC: MINGLE IT UP!! I'll make a comment below so people can thread with Piper specifically. I'm also going to set up a feedback thread so characters can leave feedback. There's also a post on Piper's journal for the class where people can leave recipe requests for future classes, as well as questions for future classes about techniques.}

	Thank you. I would like that very much. It will be more fun that way too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Fun wasn't his reason for asking, but he kept that to himself.] Very well. [He glanced at both their dishes for a moment.] Should we just start over? [It might be easier...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-06-12 04:06 am UTC (link)
	You don't think it can be saved? [A slightly sheepish smile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-06-12 04:23 am UTC (link)
	[Fix it? He didn't know how to do that. He just knew how to follow directions.] Ah. Do you think it can? I do not know what you did to get to this point. [PANIC... though he kept his expression calm.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-06-12 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	Lelouch said there was more flexibility in cooking than baking. [She is far from panic. Giggling a little.] I thought I followed the directions, but it seems not. If starting over is simpler we can do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-06-12 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	Flexibility? [He had heard that theory, but he had a hard time not following things exactly. He'd probably make an excellent baker. He thought about it for a second.] It would be easier for me. [That might have come out a little snootier than he intended.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-06-13 02:48 am UTC (link)
	Yes, you know, you're supposed to be able to taste and adjust. It's not something I've ever learned myself. Doing it the easier way would probably be best. We are just beginners. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-06-13 04:43 am UTC (link)
	Oh. I have not learned that, either. [He frowned a little.] I do not think we should be tasting raw chicken, though. [At least, she shouldn't. He'd likely be okay. It would taste horrible, but he probably wouldn't get sick unless it had gone bad.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-06-15 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	No, that wouldn't be safe, would it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-06-17 02:34 am UTC (link)
	Not likely. [That got a small smile... very small, but a smile all the same.] Perhaps we can just taste the mixture before we put it on the chicken. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-06-22 02:51 am UTC (link)
	That's a good idea! Then we can adjust that if we need to. It's not as bad when you think about being able to correct a mistake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-06-22 04:41 am UTC (link)
	[He nodded.] Yes. I think that would be a good way to start. Do you want me to get new ingredients for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-06-22 04:01 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, you don't have to do that. I can get them. I'll be right back! [She smiles and heads off to just that. She'll be back shortly, fear not!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-06-23 02:56 am UTC (link)
	Oh. [He watched her. Well, then... he would just... rearrange the utensils and other things they needed, making sure they were clean for a fresh start, while he waited for her to return.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-06-27 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	[Returning with an armful of ingredients she deposits them on the work space and smiles at Tieria.] I see you didn't flee when you had the chance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Was I supposed to?

[Cooking with a pink haired lady wasn't a first for him. It didn't frighten him. Besides, cooking was something where he could focus on the ingredients and the steps to get it done. It didn't require a lot of small talk and banter, things he wasn't good at.

Though, his statement might have come across as ever so slightly teasing about her own statement.]

	[She giggles lightly.] It might have been a good choice, but I'm glad you didn't. I could use the extra help. I don't seem to pick this up as quickly as other things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-07-04 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	That lack of consistency with this class could be a contributing factor. [Not that he blamed anything other than the strange glitch in the dimensional stabilizer that never seems to be fixed.] That part alone would be a large consideration in the ability to learn something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-07-05 04:11 am UTC (link)
	Ah, well... I am sorry for that. [Taking it a bit too much on herself since she does organize things for the school.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-07-06 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	Why? You do not have control over what the dimensional stabilizer does. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-07-08 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	No, but I do want to make the school the best experience it can be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I think you have already done that.

[After all, they were teaching and/or attending classes in an interdimensional underwater prison that there was no immediate hope for escape from except to slip into a coma and have one's consciousness lost inside a computer that none of the residents had control over.

Tieria figured she was already doing her best at making the school as good as it could be.]

	Really? [She likes hearing that even if she is a touch surprised.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-07-22 05:02 am UTC (link)
	[He nodded.] Really. [It was hard to organize anything and keep it going in an environment like this. He gave her credit for that.] This is not an easy place to keep an organization running smoothly. You have done well. [He didn't praise lightly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-07-29 03:35 am UTC (link)
	[She smiles. There's even a touch of a blush.] Thank you, Tieria, that's kind of you to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
